    Great find of a *****in' car! Loose the skirts, those things are ugly. Loose the bumper guard as well. Congratulations on your find!

    Would that be the one I saw in the spectator lot at the Louisville NSRA Nats on Saturday? I remember thinking it needed a better home with just the upgrades that you've executed. Nice.

    probably not,,the dude i got it from is an old biker and cares less about going to any car shows as he is not what you'd call a social person,haha,,he inherited the car from his brother(also an old ******** biker) who was killed on his harley ,,

    Damn, you are sure not scared to paint a car. Looks great with the wheels and the blue paint.

    How much work did you do to the car before you painted it?

    actually i didnt do much at all...the body still needs alot of fine tunning before its shinny,but at this point i cant decide if i want to chop it or not,so i threw the blue suede on there in the meantime untill i can dedcide :)

    Kongrats on the find. I'll never forget the day when I picked up my Merc.
    Reading your post brings back kool memories. Chop it or not, it can be
    kool either way. The most important thing is the stance.

    Good luck with the project.

    Happy Trails,

    Mick

    Very nice, that is a car I would love to have also! It seems like everytime I find one I dont have any $$$$ I`m sure someday I`ll have both at the same time!
